New BEDFORD, Mass, April 2l-The
great increase IN railroad rates over the va
rlous lines between this city aud San Fran
cisco, as result of the Interstate commerce
law, is likely to lead to material changes in
the method of conducting the whaling in
dustry. For several years past, since the
whale fishery became diverted chiefly to the
north Pacific ocean, it has been the custom
to keep the New Bedford whaling fleet sta
ten al San Francisco, and to send the cap
tains and crews from this place overland TO
join their vessels The Catches" consisting
of many thousands of barrels of oil and large
quantities of whaleboue, have been shipped
from San Francisco to this market by rail
The present high freight rates, if maintained,
are likely to prove prohibitory, and shipping
men here think that the old method of hav-
ing the whaling ships bring their cargoes
around Cape Horn to the eastern markets
will again be resorted to- The result, it is
| feared, will be very discouraging and un-
profitable to the business.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 81. Boston got
the ear of the Interstate commerce commis-
sion Wednesday morning, and for several
hours endeavored to show to that patient
body that unless the rates on traffic from the
west to Boston were the same, or rather no
higher than those to New York, grass would
soon grow on the docks at the hub. The
question, it was urged, was whether Boston
should go out OF the export trade and turn it
all over to New York, which would be the
baldest kind of discrimination from the
Boston point of view One of the delegation
wanted that the rates should not only be
eaualized as to certain interests but as to in
dividuals the local and export trade
should be put on the same footing. At the
